For some reason I have a name in my head pronounced "lil-uh" not "lye-luh."   Am I making this name up, or is it actually a name?  Regardless, how would you spell it?  

Thanks :)

Also, I met an 11 year old girl recently named Hollyn (Hall-in).   wdyt?

Hmm I think Ive heard it. I would spell it Lyla..

I agree with the Lilla thing. I don't think you made it up, I'm pretty sure I've seen it in this community.

Hollyn is nice. Not the best name ever, but its nice.

I would spell it Lilla too. I don't think I've heard of it, but I've heard of Lily, Lillian, Lillias, Lillia, Liliana, Lilith, etc. I'm sure it would be a variation of one of those names

I've never heard of Lilla. I just met a girl named Lila who pronounced it Lee-luh, though. That had me confused.

And I kind of like Hollyn.

Hollin or Hollan or something (neither of those really look right) would look better, but it's okay.

My name is Holland, which is sort of close to Hollyn.

lil-uh I'd spell "Lila" or "Lilla". Lye-luh I'd spell "Lilah" or "Lyla"

i've never heard of Hollyn til now, but i kind of like it actually. i agree with super_bitch06, it's not the best name ever but it's cute.

Hollin's an old name for the Holly tree, and Tolkien used it in LOTR as a place name. It's not awful but it does sound like a surname used as a first name, so I might avoid it personally.

Lilla is not unknown, it's a variant of Lily. It's also spelled Lillah, historically. It turns up in Anglo-Saxon, and in modern Greece and Italy.

I like it spelled Lillah I think.

Hollyn is my neice's name! She's only 5 months old. :) I thought it was weird when my sister and her husband first announced it, but now I like it. I've actually seen it used on a few other people, too, which surprised me. There was a mention of it on Gilmore Girls, and a guy I work with has a 4 year old granddaughter named Hollyn.

Oh and as for "lil-uh," I'd go with Lilla. Lillah is nice too.

I've been seeing Hollyn pop up a little more lately. It's not bad, but not my favorite name, but maybe b/c it's a little to close to my name Holly.
